<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I came here since I'm new to contributing to Rust, but I have been loving the language and I would really like to help out</p>
<p>Currently, I'm working on <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/71193">this issue</a>, specifically I am looking into renaming <code>not_undef</code> to <code>check_init</code>.</p>
<p>It looks like this function is defined and used exclusively in src/librustc_mir/interpret/value.rs, from what I have read I mostly just need to fork the rust repo, make the changes, then create a pull request?</p>

<p>mostly, I think <a href="https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html#configuring-the-compiler">https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html#configuring-the-compiler</a> is helpful to reduce the time spend compiling rustc itself</p>

<p>so I guess the plan here is to change the method name, and then either use search and replace or just <code>./x.py check</code> to get the remaining calls and rename them too</p>

<p>When working on search and replace problems, ripgrep is a godsend</p>

<p>oh ok, I'll look into that, I'm used to using the normal grep in the terminal or find in vscode.</p>
